...University Lectures for this year, we wish to repeat the substance of these notices here, that no one may miss such an excellent opportunity of studying French Comedy, through any misunderstanding. The lectures will be free to all students of the University who have sufficient knowledge of French to obtain practical benefit from attending them.

The four crews between whom the race really lay - Columbia, Harvard, Yale, Wesleyan - soon after the start drew ahead, and the order named was that of the first mile and a half. Harvard had been steadily drawing up on Columbia, until, at the mile and a half point, she had lapped the Columbia boat. According to the account of our crew, Yale, who had meanwhile...
